The princess of Shu did not see Wang Shi outside the window. She was talking to Xu Yuan beside her and asking about the situation outside. When she learned that Wang Shi was deliberately making things difficult for them to leave, she also showed a little annoyed look on her face. In her heart, it had had nothing to do with Wang Shi, but the other party deliberately made things difficult for her this time, which made her a little angry.

It’s a pity that the princess of Shu didn’t know that her angry look just fell into Wang Shi’s eyes outside the window, which made Wang Shi stunned for a while, and a very complicated look appeared on her face. If he had not divorced the princess of Shu, then the person who was sitting in the carriage with the princess today should be the one who would be with him.

Zhao Yan, Cao Song and others next to him also saw the change in expression on Wang Shi's face. Zhao Yan ignored him at all, and turned over and left. However, Cao Song deliberately ended up, as if he had said something to Wang Shi, but Wang Shi's whole body was trembling, but he laughed and caught up with Zhao Yan and the others.

"Hey, what did you say to Wang Shi? How did you make him angry like that?" Hu Yanping kept paying attention to Cao Song's actions and asked curiously.

"Hehe, nothing, I just told him that my second sister is pregnant. If he has the chance to go to the south in the future, he can invite him to have the full moon wine for his child." Cao Song said with an evil smile.

"Damn, you're too hurt. No wonder you're so angry, but I like it." Hu Yanping laughed at the end, but soon he thought of another thing and said to Cao Song again, "Brother Ninth Brother, you and Princess Wei have two children, but why haven't the Princess Shu and Xu Yuan have children yet?"

"It's not that my second sister doesn't want it, but it's not a big deal. Ying'er and I got married for several years before they got pregnant. So this kind of thing is not urgent at all." Zhao Yan suddenly interrupted. Zhao Yan was also very anxious about the fact that Xu Yuan and the Princess of Shu had no children. She had asked her second sister privately, but the Princess of Shu told him that the couple was also anxious. For this reason, Cao Qi asked them to help them take their pulse, but they didn't find any problems, so all this could only be explained by bad luck.

"That's true, but you've been very capable of giving birth to a third brother in the past few years. Now you have ten children, more than the children of the ninth brother and I combined. Do you think we should make a date with a baby?" Hu Yanping said with a smile again. He already has five children, but compared with Zhao Yan, it's half less.

"Haha. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If they like each other when they grow up, it's useless for us to stop them. If they don't like each other, we force them to get married, and maybe something will happen, so it's better to let everything go." Zhao Yan didn't want to bring a restraint to his sons because of a moment of impulse, so he refused rationally.

Hu Yanping felt that it made sense when he heard Zhao Yan's words. He nodded and didn't care. When they arrived in front of Zhao Yan's mansion, Xu Yuan and the Princess of Shu Kingdom, as well as the Princess of Wei who had just boarded the carriage to accompany his sister, were also there. It was already late at this time, so Zhao Yan immediately ordered the trip.

When Zhao Yan's convoy arrived at the city gate, he found that many relatives and friends from the capital came to see him off. Among them, Su Shi and Li Gonglin were also waiting here with their luggage. They would leave the capital with Zhao Yan to work in the south. In fact, as Zhao Yan's assistant, as for what they did, everything had to be arranged for them when Zhao Yan arrived in the south.

With Zhao Yan's reputation and status, and his two sisters also left Beijing together, there were many people coming to see him off today. Zhao Yan and Cao Song and others got off the carriage and greeted the people who saw him off, and then drank a few glasses of farewell wine. Then they waved goodbye to them. Zhao Yan, who was riding on the horse, looked at the city of Tokyo that was getting farther and farther behind, and couldn't help but sigh. I don't know how many years it will take to come back.

Zhao Yan and his team's destination is Guangzhou, just south of Kaifeng. They should have walked south after leaving the capital, but Zhao Yan and his team did not do so. Instead, they headed southeast and arrived at a tributary of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou to head south by boat. After more than half a month of sailing, Zhao Yan and his team finally arrived in Hangzhou.

As the saying goes, there is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Although Hangzhou was not as prosperous as the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, it was also a big city in the south that ranked very high, especially when it was close to West Lake, the scenery was very beautiful. In addition, Zhao Yan and his family were traveling along the way. Although there were carriages and boats for transportation, they were still a little tired, so they planned to visit Hangzhou for a while before leaving.

When you come to Hangzhou, you must travel to West Lake. When you visit West Lake, you must eat West Lake vinegar fish. This dish is also related to Su Shi. In addition, Xu Yuan’s senior brother, Leyuan, is also a lot of relationship with the Foyin Zen Master in history. There are many interesting legends about them in later generations, and one of them is related to West Lake vinegar fish.

Zhao Yan, Xu Yuan, Cao Song, Hu Yanping, Su Shi brothers, Li Gonglin and others came to West Lake together and rented a fishing boat by the lake. The fishing boat was run by a pair of fishermen and knew how to cook, especially the West Lake vinegar fish was very good. Zhao Yan and the others sat on the bow of the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery of West Lake and tasting delicious food, which was very pleasant.

"Prince, we have all arrived in Hangzhou, which can be considered to be in the south. However, except for knowing that you plan to take over the sea trade, we don't know what plans you have for this matter, and we don't know where to start. So should you reveal some whispers to us first?" Su Shi tasted a piece of West Lake vinegar fish, exclaimed a few words but asked Zhao Yan. Su Che and Li Gonglin next to him also looked at him. It seemed that they must have been guessing about this matter during this period.

"Yes, third brother, you used to like to make plans for things, but this time you go to the south, you don't seem to have any plans. Did you make a plan without us hiding it?" Cao Song also asked at this time. Although he was closer to Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping, he also didn't know what plans Zhao Yan had for going to the south this time.

Seeing Su Shi and the others' curious eyes, Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to look at me so curiously. To be honest, I actually have no plans, so I will talk about everything when I arrive in Guangzhou."

"No plan, this is not like your behavior, your behavior." At this time, Li Gonglin also spoke in surprise. He had known Zhao Yan for so many years and knew Zhao Yan's personality very well, so he was surprised that Zhao Yan had no plan to go to the south.

"Haha, I want to have a plan, but I have not seen the situation of sea trade with my own eyes. I can only get some information from some channels. I have not even really seen sea ships yet, and I don't know what overseas trade is. So after we arrived in Guangzhou this time, the first thing we did was not to take over sea trade, but to be familiar with the situation of sea trade. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we prepare for the following plan." Zhao Yan first smiled bitterly, and then told the truth. In fact, not to mention this life, he didn't know much about the sea in his previous life. If it weren't for the reforms this time, he really didn't want to stay in the capital, I'm afraid he wouldn't have run to the beach.

"My third brother said it is right. Although the sea trade is also a kind of business, the overseas situation is extremely complicated, which also makes the sea trade situation change rapidly. Even if I stayed overseas for a long time a few years ago, now I'm going to the beach, I'm afraid I feel very unfamiliar." At this time, Xu Yuan also spoke. Among the people present, he was the only one who knew sea trade the most, but it was precisely because of this that he was more cautious.

After hearing Xu Yuan say this, Su Shi and the others understand and nodded, but at this time, Su Zhe, who has always been taciturn, suddenly spoke: "Prince, even if you don't have any plans, you must have any ideas about the sea trade. Can you tell us your ideas so that we can prepare us?"

"This is not a problem. In fact, I have conducted some investigations and understanding of the situation of the sea trade in the Song Dynasty before, and thus have some ideas..." Zhao Yan said as he explained his previous ideas about sea trade. Most of these ideas were fragmented, but some of them were very bold, which also made Su Shi and the others stunned. At the same time, they felt that they had been cheated by Zhao Yan because this time they went to the south to work was not as simple as they imagined.

At the same time, Princess Chen and his wife in Guangzhou City sat in the hall with anxiety on their faces. The Wang Shi, who was the prince consort, sat for a while and stood up and walked anxiously for a few steps, then said to his wife: "My wife, when will the third brother and the others come to Guangzhou? If they come a few days later, things will probably become out of control."

"Husband, can you find a way to delay? Calculate the journey, I guess the third brother and the others should have crossed the Yangtze River. They will be here at most a month. As long as they can come, especially Xu Yuan can come, everything will be much easier." Princess Chen also spoke with an anxious look on her face.

"I also want to delay time, but the new Zhizhou Cai is too young. With the support of Wang Xianggong and other new party behind him, he doesn't take me, the prince consort seriously. I have tried to persuade him a few times before, but he always agreed in person. He always had a good agreement in person. What should I do if I turn around? I have no choice." Mr. Wang said helplessly at this time. During this period, he was caught between the two ends and was afraid that the chaos in Guangzhou would be caused by this incident, but now it has reached the last moment.

"There's nothing more. It seems that I have to go to the navy in person!" Princess Chen suddenly said with a firm look on her face. Now only her identity as a princess can solve this big crisis in Guangzhou City. However, there are quite a few risks to go there. I hope those people will not do anything randomly.
